Race Week: Great Hera! It's Here!

It's here! It's really here! If I was excited about this project before, I am twice as excited--and scared--now. This isn't just an idea. This isn't just a whim. This is the Real Deal. This is happening!*

The costume fits well and is comfortable at first blush. I won't lie--I am definitely Chunky Wonder Woman. There's not enough compression fabric in the world to make me less muffin-y. But back to the SFT** rules one and two: ditch self-consciousness and embrace Lycra. Oh, and another one of her rules: above all, have fun!

I will give it a test run tomorrow. I wonder what the neighbors will think. Good thing I tend to run while it's still dark.

In the meantime, I had a lovely walk this morning with Luna-pup, but that really deserves its own post. Probably next week, after my first race kerfluffle is over.
